- When is UCD moving to @bsky.app? Or our CSSL? @niamhmcherry.bsky.social. Trinity social sciences have done the move already... @tcdssp.bsky.social
- Nice work to show the cost of living for postdocs. Although weather is not counted here (we score low), there is a soft cultural bonus for UCD/TCD. UCD remains the largest English speaking uni in the EU, which is attractive to launch an international academic career. And friendly people.
- Another week, another blog:) this one is for my academic friends entering the European postdoc job market. laurenleek.substack.com/p/the-postdo...
